A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. After the farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn, the area of the whe

at was 300 acres less than the area of the corn. What was the area of the wheat field and what was the area of the corn field?

The area covered by corn is x
The area covered by wheat is (x+480)
After 80% of wheat was collected, the new area was:
20/10(x+480)
=1/5(x+480)
After 25% of the corn was collected, the new area was:
75/100x
=3/4x
New area equation will be:
(3/4)x=1/5(x+480)+300
(3/4x)=(1/5)x+96+300
solving for x we get:
11/20x=396
x=720
thus the original area of corn was 720 acres
Original area of wheat was 720+480=1200 acres

Answer:

  109.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc that is 1/4 of a circle of radius 70 ft is ...

  s = rθ

  s = (70 ft)(π/2) = 35π ft ≈ 109.9557 ft

The best answer choice appears to be 109.9 feet.

How many triangles can be constructed with angles measuring 10º, 80º, and 90º?
Feliz [49]
The answer is A. more than one, because you can create one, but then you can move the angles around. So if the angles in order go 10°, 80°, 90°, you could change the order to 90°, 10°, 80°, or something. I hope this helps!

Julissa is running a 10-kilometer race at a constant pace. After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers. After runni
trasher [3.6K]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: the time in minutes

k: the number of kilometers

The relationship between both variables is direct.

Therefore, the function is:

k (t) = c * t

Where, "c" is a constant of proportionality.

To determine "c" we use the following data:

After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers.

Substituting values:

2 = c * 18

Clearing c we have:

c = \frac{2}{18}

c = \frac{1}{9}

Then, the equation is given by:

k (t) = \frac{1}{9} * t

Answer:

An equation that can be used to represent k, the number of kilometers Julissa runs in t minutes is:

k (t) = \frac{1}{9} * t

satela [25.4K]

Answer: She needed 144 square feet of carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Maria is buying new carpet. Her bedroom is in the shape of a square.

The length of each side is 12 feet.

We know that the area of square = (side)^2

So , the area of the bedroom = (12)^2  [which is an exponential expression]

Simplify it

The area of the bedroom = 12\times12=144\ \text{ft}^2

Also, the carpet she needed = Area of the bedroom.

Thus , She needed 144 square feet of carpet.
